On the morning of January 30, the People's Court of Quy Hop district held a public trial of the criminal case against Lo Van Le (born in 1995), residing in Ang village, Chau Quang commune, Quy Hop, for the crime of "Theft of property".
According to the indictment, on the evening of March 17, 2017, Le met Quang Ngoc Ba (born in 1994), residing in Ha Dong hamlet, Chau Cuong commune, at a wedding in Muong village, Chau Thai commune. Le asked Ba: "Is there any place to steal?" Ba replied "yes, but it is an acquaintance."
At around 11pm the same day, Ba drove a motorbike carrying Le back to Long village (Chau Thai commune, Quy Hop). When they arrived at Long village, Ba stopped the motorbike outside to wait, while Le went into Luong Thi Thanh's house to steal a TV, then both got on the motorbike and drove home.
On the afternoon of March 19, 2017, Le and Ba brought the TV to sell. When they met Le Thi Ha and her husband, Le asked if they wanted to buy the TV and Ha agreed to buy it for 2.6 million VND. After selling the TV, Le gave Ba 500,000 VND.
On March 21, 2017, when he learned that the TV his wife bought was stolen property, Mr. Trung voluntarily handed it over to the police.
When questioned by the victim's family, Ba admitted to stealing the TV and turned himself in to the Chau Quang commune police, confessing all his actions. Le fled the area and was wanted by the Quy Hop police.
Le then fled to Quy Chau, Con Cuong. There, Le borrowed a motorbike from a relative, then pawned it and fled to Nam Dinh. On October 27, 2017, when Le returned home to Quy Hop, he was arrested by the police. At the police station, Le confessed to all his crimes.
The used TV that the two subjects stole was valued at 7 million VND and the victim's family has received the property back so they have no further requests.
It is known that Lo Van Le has a bad personal history, Le himself has 2 previous convictions for “Theft of property”. At the end of the trial, the panel sentenced defendant Lo Van Le to 2 years in prison.
